It was bound to happen at some point between now and next Tuesday: Tommy Chong was eliminated on last night's Dancing With the Stars, which paved the way for Alfonso, Bethany, Janel, and Sadie to quickstep their way to the final four. I've always been a fan of celebs who are down to earth and genuine, so Tommy's "I'm an iconic actor, a comedy legend. I'm bringing in fans that have never watched" spiel to me earlier in the season did not sit well. My take: Let your personality and talent speak for itself without having to remind others of it. For those of you who will miss Tommy, he'll be back next Tuesday for the finale. And as much as I've anticipated Tommy's elimination, he still deserves kudos for powering through the pain and turning in some entertaining dances from day one. See, Tommy, there is some love there after all! Update: Backstage, Peta was the emotional one, crying as she and Tommy said their goodbyes before heading to New York City. Why all the tears? "Tommy is my proudest accomplishment on Dancing With the Stars," Peta told me. "He just floored me with what he could do and read more

Vanderpump Rules is only two episodes in, but the cast has already brought a TON of drama back to Bravo—including a firing, cheating rumors, and a bar brawl. But it was one tiny moment during the premiere episode that caught Glamour's attention: When Scheana, during a confrontation with Tom, told him she couldn't cry because her lashes were mink. Obviously, we had to ask Scheana about that beauty moment, as well as what's to come on this season of Vanderpump Rules. Tune in! So, that premiere episode—a lot went down! Scheana: Oh, I mean, it was my birthday. Imagine what happens at my wedding. Yes, congrats, by the way! Was everything perfect? Scheana: Not perfect. I had 300 guests, and we were filming—though the filming wasn't even a small portion of the problems that went wrong—but it was beautiful and the ceremony was amazing. It was just that the whole timeline of the wedding didn't go as planned. It was more stressful than anything. When we got on the airplane to go to Maui for our honeymoon, I was like, "It's done!" Did it add stress knowing that it was being filmed? Scheana: I really thought that for the last read more

And now, a conversation between the boss who made The Bachelor's first promo for Chris Soules' season and the assistant who thought her life would go differently. BOSS: Assistant, can you come here? Tell me if this promo has enough corn. I think it needs more corn. Let's watch it together. ASSISTANT: Wait, why is there corn again? BOSS: Because he’s a farmer. See, this is what I was telling marketing. I don’t think we’re selling the farmer thing hard enough. ASSISTANT: No, I think America definitely knows he’s a farmer. We literally haven’t stopped talking about it, plus we photoshopped him between a pair of barn doors. But why is he, um, caressing the corn? And what’s with all the creepy voices? “If you’re the Bachelor, I’m the one?” BOSS: It’s like a play on that movie, about the guy who likes baseball? And there’s a cornfield full of ghosts. And a little girl chokes on a hot dog that I think, like, James Earl Jones gave to her? And then the scrawny guy with the red beard is like, “Raaaaay. Don’t sell this farm, Ray.” ASSISTANT: Are you talking about Field of Dreams? Do you you think people read more

We are already a week away from the quarterfinals, and who would have thought, but Tommy Chong is still in this competition. Some of you are probably loving that Tommy has lasted this long, but I'm not. Yes, I know Michael (who—spoiler—was eliminated) wasn't going to win the Dancing With the Stars Mirrorball, but, from my perspective, his attitude and personality trumped Tommy's. Let's break it all down. Update: Backstage, an emotional Emma wiped away tears as Michael graciously praised his partner and his experience on the show. "We were really happy that we made it to week eight. We had the best experience doing this every day. Dancing is hard and can be really frustrating at times, but there was always Emma’s spirit and heart and it made me smile every day." Admittedly, Michael is most sad about not seeing Emma on a daily basis. "I got really used to that and really enjoyed it. I think we both grew as people and we both look at things a little more positively now than we might have a couple of months ago. That’s just a blessing when you meet someone in your life that makes your heart smile." I read more

I'm going to declare it right now: The best part of tonight's Dancing With the Stars was the Halloween refrigerator prank. I could watch Derek Hough's reaction over and over again and never get tired of it. But, alas, there were dances to get to and an elimination to be had, so who's headed to Gotham in the morning? Read on. But first, let's back up. Something else happened that ties for the best part of tonight's show: Cheryl being scared half to death by a masked man and screaming sh-t on live TV (which wasn't muted for us backstage but apparently was on the East Coast). Hey @cherylburke... BOO! http://t.co/H3hU7NeTpL— Official DWTS (@DancingABC) October 28, 2014 Now we can move on. Len Goodman sure didn't miss a beat with his harsh critiques of Michael Waltrip, Val Chmerkovskiy, and Derek Hough (though can a "9" really be declared harsh?). To be honest, I'm kind of ready to skip ahead to the final five contestants and trim the fat, so to speak, but that's not how it works in Mirrorball land now, is it? So who's going home? Even though Michael and Emma got all 5's, they were declared safe after read more

Since 2005, Carrie Ann Inaba has been a Monday-night TV staple as part of the Dancing With the Stars' judges' panel. In an era that sees judges come and go (ahem, The Voice), it speaks to the dedication of Inaba (and the loyal audience that watches her) that she's still lighting up our screens each week with hilarious (but constructive) commentary and using her platform to expand her own amazing causes. We recently spent an entire Monday from start to finish with the Hawaii native and got the scoop on how she decides on those gorgeous gowns, who's the surprise celeb this season, and what really goes on behind the scenes! 9 A.M. Carrie Ann's boyfriend, Tony (in town from Rome!), drops her off at DWTS, which shoots at CBS Television City (the same studio as The Price Is Right, American Idol, The Young and the Restless, and more). 9:05 A.M. Carrie Ann makes her way to the judges' trailers, which are a bit away from the celebrity and dancers' trailers. It's a rather private area—with Astroturf and patio furniture to give it a homey feeling. 9:25 A.M. Styling session commences! Carrie Ann's stylist, Maritza Vallejos Pellegrino, who has been read more

Almost daily, I get emails from readers asking me about a Maks and Meryl reunion, and I finally have good news to share: Shall We Dance will be taping a live performance with Meryl, Charlie White, Maks, and Sharna Burgess in Bloomington, Illinois, in December to air as part of an ABC special in February. From what I'm hearing now, Maks and Meryl won't be performing on the ice together (though I'd love to see that), but expect to see lots of airtime with them. Meryl, who was in the audience at tonight's show with Amy Purdy, recently won the Sportswoman of the Year Award at the Women’s Sports Foundation’s 35th Annual Salute to Women in Sports Awards and celebrated with Maks the following day. During a commercial break, I caught up with Amy and Meryl, who were so thrilled to be back in the ballroom. Amy goes back to "work" with Oprah on Thursday and is gearing up for a December launch of her new book, On My Own Two Feet. In other DWTS news, I spent the entire day (and more post-show) with Carrie Ann Inaba for a behind-the-scenes, day-in-the-life piece that you'll see coming soon. Carrie Ann, read more

The Skinnygirl is back. After weeks of swirling rumors about her return, Bethenny Frankel finally confirmed that she will be returning to The Real Housewives of New York City in season seven via her website. She originally left the series after season three in 2010. Loading How come I'm never a housewife when I'm a housewife? Breaking news: http://www.bethenny.com/bethenny/a-new-chapter/ View on Instagram@-webkit-keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } "After many years of hesitation, I have decided to return to my roots on The Real Housewives of New York City," the reality star/cookbook author wrote on her site. "I have been through a long and arduous road since my departure, and I'm finally coming out on the other side. It finally feels right to go home again." Since Frankel left the franchise in 2010, she appeared on her own Bravo reality show, Bethenny Getting Married? and Bethenny Ever After, which followed her marriage to now ex-husband Jason Hoppy and the birth of their daughter, Bryn. She also hosted her own talk show, Bethenny, for one season—but, according to her website, she much prefers the reality-TV setting.

Oh, Jessie J. Couldn't you have at least watched one episode of Dancing With the Stars before basically admitting you've never seen the show? Because if I was going to guest-judge a show that's consistently in the top 10 each week, I'd say, "Yeah, I'm going to prepare by not watching it." All I'll say is next time DWTS needs a guest judge, there are plenty of us that would volunteer to do it. But what's awesome about switch-up week is seeing the pros really invest in the other dances. Whether it was Derek hanging on to every last word from the judges about Bethany's performance, or Val intently watching Janel dance with Artem, it's nice to see just how much these pros care about their partners. Loading We're switching it up on Instagram tonight... During the show @isthatjessiej will be taking over our IG. Follow along it's gonna be a blast! 🚀 #DWTS #switchup View on Instagram@-webkit-keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } @keyframes"dkaXkpbBxI"{ 0%{opacity:0.5;} 50%{opacity:1;} 100%{opacity:0.5;} } Update: Backstage, I talked to Artem about Jessie J's lack of DWTS knowledge, and he made one interesting observation: "I know she’s watched the U.K. version because she’s appeared on it, but she read more

Good Morning America just announced the pairings for next Monday's Dancing With the Stars switch-up, and it feels oddly similar to what we're already seeing on a weekly basis. Isn't the point to really shake things up? Well, it doesn't matter—because of course I'll be obsessively watching, analyzing, and enjoying it nonetheless. Let's break it down! Jonathan Bennett with Peta Murgatroyd *OK, so after I just dissed the pairings, I have to admit that I really like this one. I want Peta to bring out a sexier, more serious side of Jonathan than we've seen with Alison, who has more of a brother-sister relationship with him. With that said, it might be hard considering Peta and Jonathan are dancing the jitterbug, which really doesn't lend itself to a sexy dance. Tommy Chong and Emma Slater *Did we really have to give Emma the old guy? I'm sorry, but she deserves better than this given her genius choreography. I would have much preferred seeing Emma teach the mambo to Antonio Sabato Jr. or Alfonso Ribeiro. Wouldn't you? Bethany Mota and Mark Ballas *Shocker (not). Are any of us really surprised that BFF's Mark and Derek (who got Mark's partner, Sadie) have read more

Before we get to tonight's Dancing With the Stars elimination, can we talk about the teaser for this week's Nashville with Derek Hough and Hayden Panettiere? Holy hotness, Hough! Now that I got that out of the way, let's get to this week's elimination, all those heart-wrenching stories as part of "Most Memorable Year" week, and...THE CARLTON! First, let's get serious. America, what is wrong with you? Eliminating Betsey Johnson?! Are you kidding me? I have no words. It came down to her and Michael Waltrip, and as much as I love MW, he was the less capable dancer. Truthfully, I would have liked to have seen Tommy Chong get his walking papers, but Betsey? This one really took me by surprise, and very rarely does DWTS shock me anymore. The mood backstage was more sadness though than shock, especially considering how drained everyone was post-performance. Betsey was able to do only four interviews, and the word on the street was that it was because she hadn't packed her bags for New York and Good Morning America the next morning. (Guess she didn't think she'd be going home either!) Basically the only thing that's going to get me out of read more

It's "Most Memorable Year" night on Dancing With the Stars, which means we can expect lots of tears, emotion, and, yes, even the Carlton! Best of all, we're exclusively live-streaming the six camera feeds placed around the DWTS set, so you can see everything as it happens in real time. Check out the feeds below, and live-tweet with us using the hashtag #WatchWithGlamour. Then check back after the show for our full recap!

You gotta hand it to The Voice. Season after season, it still manages to get the most charismatic, popular group of coaches who all get along and fit together seamlessly. So when NBC asked if we wanted to have an exclusive clip of Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, and Pharrell goofing off behind the scenes, we couldn't pass it up. Take a look at what happens when the judges decide to find out a little bit more about one another. Moist? Good one, Blake. The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 P.M./7 P.M. CT on NBC. read more

When it rains, it pours when it comes to celebrity baby news! Barely an hour after Molly Sims announced her second pregnancy, Bachelor stars Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum have welcomed their first child! It's a boy for the couple, whom they've named Fordham Rhys Rosenbaum. J.P. told Us Weekly that "both mom and baby are doing great, and we are so, so happy to welcome little Fordy to the world!" Aww. You can see pics from the NYC baby shower (and tips on how to host your own) here. Ashley and J.P. were married in 2012 (and if you haven't seen those gorgeous pics yet, click here!) Congrats to Ashley and J.P.!!! What do you think of the name? read more

Wow, Val Chmerkovskiy and Janel Parrish and Derek Hough and Bethany Mota! That's going to be one hell of a post-work celebration after the talented duos achieved perfect scores on Dancing With the Stars tonight. Unfortunately for another couple, it was a cross-country red-eye flight with salty peanuts and a bruised ego. So who was it? Read on after the break! Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker and Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff were the last two "in jeopardy," with Randy and Karina going home. There was definite surprise in the press room, as we all expected Randy to be a bit of a dark horse this season. Update: Randy and Karina were only able to do a couple of interviews backstage before boarding their flight for Good Morning America, but she told ABCNews Radio that while she didn't necessarily expect to be eliminated so soon, she was so grateful for the fans who have already voiced their disappointment. What's interesting is that when asked about whether she'd be returning to DWTS next season, Karina explained that there isn't a contract in place for that yet, and no decision has been made. For more audio clips from her exit interview, click read more

I'm kind of hoping tonight's episode of Dancing With the Stars was a dream. I had no idea what was going on half the time between that odd Sia/Allison Holker dance and Tony and Betsey channelling Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in Ghost. Then there was that scary moment with Julianne Hough and Val at the end of the group dance—not to mention the tad uncomfortable feelings I had watching a scantily clad Julianne dance with her brother. The only thing that made it feel like authentic DWTS? Seeing Antonio Sabato Jr.'s little boy talk so sweetly backstage with his dad. Other than that, my head is spinning. So who went home? Read on after the break. Update: As I predicted yesterday morning, Tavis Smiley and Sharna Burgess went home during the second week of competition. Backstage, I sensed more relief from Tavis (he was having trouble balancing work and dance) and more sadness and disappointment from Sharna. The pros, the press, and all the celebs absolutely adore Sharna, so it certainly wasn't easy having her leave the competition so soon. At least we'll see her weekly in the troupe, but we all know that's not the same as getting read more

Last Friday, I took dance lessons with Len Goodman, and I learned firsthand how hard it is to do Dancing With the Stars. I like to think I can get down with it at weddings and bat-mitzvahs, but making sure your feet are on point while you're telling a story? Um, no. Len gave me an 8 after and I started to get the hang of it, but I have a newfound respect for your favorite celeb dancers! So did they bring it tonight in the ballroom? Most Impressive: Give it up for sexpot Lea Thompson! Though I wasn't thrilled with Artem's snide comment in the rehearsal package about "you getting it/I already got it," kudos to him for choreographing such an energetic jive. 35/40 Biggest Change: Julianne Hough, who was bronzed and buxom during last Monday's season premiere, was covered-up and classy in a Carrie Bradshaw-tutu ensemble in tonight's show. More than anything, how awesome has Julianne proved to be as a judge? The, Wow, I Have No Words Award: Oh, Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater. How I love you guys. That dance isn't going to win any shiny Mirrorballs, but who cares, because it was awesome. Michael at read more

Week one of Dancing With the Stars is officially in the books! I can't say I was shocked at last night's elimination (bye-bye, Lolo and Keo), I am somewhat surprised because America loves a good comeback story. Was Lolo Jones' attitude really to blame? Will Betsey Johnson be next to go? And since Maks was in the audience for the second night in a row, why on earth did ABC fail to take advantage of his presence? Let's get to it, shall we? Lolo's Elimination Post-show, Lolo once again talked to every outlet (major props to her because last year Sean Avery barely said a word to anyone), but it was evident how upset she was. I actually think her messing up wasn't to blame for her elimination; it was the way she explained it after the dance. She blamed it on a text message that didn't come through (as part of her routine), but that shouldn't have been a factor. Instead of taking a "Whoops! Oh well!" attitude, she looked miserable the rest of the dance. If we've learned anything from previous seasons of DWTS, the fans want to see the stars having a great time. Look at Michael read more

Wow. This might have been the most entertaining premiere of Dancing With the Stars we've ever seen. You all know I wasn't a fan of the cast going into season 19, but I have to admit that after last night's premiere, I'm totally hooked. What a glorious train wreck in the most entertaining way possible. Here's what you missed after the show was over: There's more where this picture came from. Keep reading! Most Entertaining Couple to Interview: NASCAR's Michael Waltrip and pro dancer Emma Slater. Although Michael wound up at the bottom of the leader board, I hope he lasts another week on the show. The conversation I had with them backstage would have been worth the price of admission alone (had there even been a price of admission). It went something like this: Michael Waltrip: "I'm wearing a poly-blend onesie, and I think all the boys will start wearing them now. It’s going to sweep the nation. I’m in touch with my feminine side. I don’t believe this whole package would be much of a stretch to be on the cover of Glamour." Best Line of the Night: Betsey Johnson to me after the show: "I got f--ked read more

I'll be the first to admit that I harshly judged this season of Dancing With the Stars before it even started. However, as we count down the hours to the season 19 premiere, I'm starting to change my tune. It's not that all of a sudden I've become a fan of the very random cast, but it's the love I have for a show that somehow always manages to lure me in and keep me there. Based on what I saw yesterday at rehearsal, I realized that no matter my feelings toward the Tommy Chongs or Sadie Robertsons of the group, I'm strapping on my heels for an incredible, addictive season ahead. Here's what you need to know: My view at yesterday's opening number rehearsal. 1) Maks and Meryl WILL Return: Give yourself a moment to rejoice, M&M shippers! The DWTS Season 18 winners will be in attendance tonight, along with Meryl's Olympic partner Charlie White (who's gotten engaged and chopped off his fluffy locks since the finale). While Maks and Meryl won't be dancing (at least that's what I've been told), they will be there to kick off the new season, along with fan favorites Amy Purdy, Danica McKellar, read more
